Sponsor Giveaways: Ormolu, JBS Mercantile & Big Picture Scrapbooking, Scrapbooking From The Inside Out

One of my favorite summer traditions is something I actually just got back from... going to the farmers market with my mom... I always have to get some fruit, veggies, and who knows what else... plus I love to see all the random people from town that we run into... and before we leave we always get a chocolate croissant for me and a almond croissant for mom! yummy!

Thanks Ali :) I always get new ideas from your sponsors and they have such great products.
My favorite summer tradition would definitely have to be spending as much time barefoot or in sandals as possible.
My new summer tradition this year is a spa pedicure, a reward to myself on my weight loss journey as I am almost a year out from weight loss surgery.

With our family of 7 it can get pricey and stressful taking many vacations! We have a house on the beach in Santa Cruz and we look forward to the one BIG vacation of the summer..lazy days, the Boardwalk and lots of memories.

favourite summer traditions?
I love picking flowers from my garden and filling my home with them. My daughter enjoys it too and is always coming up with cute ideas for vases, like Yop containers peeled of all labels and different ribbons tied around the top. Very pretty when grouped.

summer traditions=camping
we love to go--its getting harder to do, which all the Shriner activities the hubby is in, but we squeeze in a few :D

What wonderful giveaways!
Two of our favorite summer traditions: hiking to Bridal Veil Falls and playing in the ice-cold snowmelt, and making Italian sodas. Ah, summer.

My fav summer tradition is having a big fish fry at our house. Dh and all the guys go fishing in Canada every early summer, so we have a big friday night fish fry with all the families. We hang out, eat, eat a little more, share life, take pics, eat some more and relax. It's a blast!

One of our favorite summer traditions here in Phoenix, is heading up North for some nice cool day hikes in Flagstaff. It's a nice day to escape the heat when were not in the pool!

Our favorite summer tradition is a huge block party on July 4th weekend...this will be year 15!

Our favorite summer tradition is spending lazy weekends at the beach. We love to soak up the sun, relax while listening to the ocean and people watch.

Not having a set schedule. With 3 kids in school and all the extracurricular activities it's nice not having to be somewhere at a certain time.

My siblings and their kids and I go to my parents house for a week in August. We ride bikes, go to the county fair, have water fights. I love seeing the cousins play together. There's always at least one gray day, where we stay inside and create stuff and play games. Good times!

Spending the 4th at my parent's beach house is always a treat. Now that the neighbor's have kids my son's age it is even more special.

Smores and camping!! I there anything better! Thanks for the great giveaway!!

Our family camps every summer at the beach. When we were younger, it was always for a week. Now, my mom stays for 2 weeks and I stay for 2 weeks. The kids come and go when they can. So much fun.

My favorite summer tradition is when my family gets together for a big reunion.

Oh I love it all...Our favorite family tradition in summertime is going back to Ohio to visit all of our family.

We take a trip to a nearby historical festival and camp at the state park for the weekend. The kids love it, and we love them loving it!

Our favorite summer tradition is eating lots and lots of fresh fruit. Mmm...so delicious!
We're planning to create a new summer tradition--last night we bought a small fire bowl to put in our backyard so we can make s'mores. Can't wait to help the kids make their first ones!

Sunshine whenever possible and the local farmers market every Saturday morning possible...which leads to cooking and pickling and baking!
